We live in an era of so many champions that it is understandable if some end up being forgotten. But usually when a guy puts together a nice title reign with some good wins--he gets a boost to his popularity. You’ll remember him, even if he fell short of clear-cut greatness.
Other champions, however, seemed mired in obscurity. Maybe it was their style, their lack of good promotion, or lack of marquee fights that relegates them to the mental scrap heap of boxing fans. Either way, there are some fighters you almost feel sorry for because it’s almost like they never existed.
Here are some now-retired forgotten champions who deserve at least a bit more reverence.
